Default 4th JEEP : Been away a Long Time.

Yep, I let 25 years slip by between JEEPS but I am an owner once again.
I am in New England. Ct to be exact.
Last week I picked up a 2009 Grand Cherokee Rock Mtn edition..in Black..
Although, over the last 10 years, my two Brothers in Law, my Nephew and Niece have kept the Jeep flame alive by owning 6 or so Jeeps amongst them. So, there has always been a Jeep or two in the Family.

I have in the past owned a 71 Wagoneer, a New 79 Cherokee and a New 81 Cherokee.
What a great Unit this 09 Rocky Mtn is though. Looking forward to hundreds of thousands of miles.
Regarding the Chrysler Bankruptcy and Jeep's future I believe it is solid. Jeep is the profitable segment of Chrysler Corp and Jeep has gone through ******, Kaiser, AMC, Renault(investment) and Chrysler. Some corp will want Jeep if not Chrysler. I noted as I was looking to buy even the Jaded Consumer Reports had to give the Grand Cherokee's Mechanical workings execellent scores.
Good Stuff is on the horizon for JEEP!

Thanks for the Welcome!

Ol' Blue,
I Blew up your Avatar Photo and as near as I can tell it appears to be a VW GTI as it does not render well. I am sure I must be wrong. What is it?

It's a Dodge Omni GLH, from the mid-1980s. Think "turbocharged rental car" and you wouldn't be far off. (I'm only answering because I happen to think it's awesome; I don't know the full details.)

The similarity to the VW Golf/Rabbit was, I believe, intentional on Chrysler's part at the time.
